Bats go silent in shutout loss to NOC Tonkawa

Dallas, TX-Another learning experience for Josh Oller's team. 

Kamden Edge struck out five, earning his third victory of the season, Carson Taylor collected three hits, and Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa blanked Garden City, 8-0 on Friday afternoon at Z-Plex Sports Village. 

The Broncbusters were limited to just three hits: Karson Evan's single in the fourth, a Wyatt Anderson triple in the sixth, and Justin Bush's extra base hit in the seventh.  

Meantime starter Walker Maximick lasted only two innings, surrendering seven earned runs on six hits. He yielded three runs in the first including a two-run double by Christian Stratis. He was pulled after serving up a two-run double to Hendrik Vandermeer in the third that made it 5-0. It was part of a five-run inning that put the Mavericks ahead, 8-0. 

On the other side, Edge was nearly unhittable surrendering only a single to Evans in the fourth. 

The only hit he surrendered was to Evans in the fourth. He struck out a pair in the second and fanned Preston Glatt and Brittain Brewer in the fourth. Rylan Newman replaced him after a leadoff walk in the fifth. 

Garden City's (4-2) bullpen: Alexander Paniagua, Nate Mountjoy, and Anthony Gall, combined to give up only one run in four innings. 

NOC Tonkawa improved to 9-0.
